But that changed drastically when \u003Ca href=\"/posts/best-digital-signage-player/\">\u003Cu>\u003Cspan style=\"color: rgb(44, 130, 201);\">affordable media players\u003C/span>\u003C/u>\u003C/a> hit the market. These mini-computers established an entirely new way to power digital signage installations—and\npower them better than ever.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">But these media players also brought a host of limitations to go along with their advantages. And most of those downsides came with the operating systems underlying the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.telemetrytv.com/digital-signage-software\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\u003Cu>digital signage hardware\u003C/u>\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">That’s because most OS used for digital signage devices—such as Chrome, Android, Linux, and Mac—weren’t designed with digital signage in mind.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">While these operating systems are fully capable of powering a digital signage network, they aren’t at all optimized for it. With the new \u003Ca href=\"https://docs.telemetrytv.com/docs/intro-to-telemetrytv-box-os\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\u003Cu>TelemetryTV Box OS\u003C/u>\u003C/a>, there’s finally an operating system crafted for the sole purpose of using, managing, and scaling digital signage with ease.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">What is TelemetryTV Box OS?\u003C/h2>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">At its core, TelemetryTV Box OS is all of the best features from Chrome, Android, Windows, and Linux combined into one digital signage platform. We truly believe TelemetryTV Box OS will be the most sophisticated digital signage platform available on the market.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Put simply, TelemetryTV Box OS is a secured, optimized, and customized platform that streamlines the entirety of running a digital signage network. Unlike existing media players currently on the market, it doesn’t suffer from the usual issues surrounding\nmanageability, security, and ease of use.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">And instead of locking you down to one proprietary hardware device, we decided to let customers install TelemetryTV Box OS on a wide range of compatible \u003Ca href=\"/digital-signage-software\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\u003Cu>digital signage media players\u003C/u>\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">How was TelemetryTV Box OS built?\u003C/h2>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">TelemetryTV Box OS is based on the latest long-term Linux operating system—Ubuntu 20 LTS. By using an existing OS as the base, especially one as versatile as Ubuntu, we were able to customize and refine the TelemetryTV Box OS to do exactly what it needed to do,\nwhich was to run digital signage better than any other existing platform out there.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The Ubuntu 20 LTS distribution was stripped down to focus solely on digital signage. The desktop environment, libraries, and applications were all sent to the cutting floor since they were no longer needed. After that, we tuned and customized the Ubuntu\nOS to run the TelemetryTV app with performance that was never possible on other media player OS.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">On top of that, we beefed up the security of the OS to meet Center For Internet Security standards.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Key features of TelemetryTV Box OS\u003C/h2>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Since TelemetryTV Box OS was designed specifically for digital signage use cases, there is a huge amount of valuable features built-in for organizations using digital signage. Here are just a few:\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cul class=\"list-disc list-inside\">\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Kiosk mode\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Serial port commands\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">4K video support\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">4 screen video wall support\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">USB provisioning of new devices\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">5-year lifespan\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">$0 annual costs\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Electron app build\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Static IP\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Remote management\u003C/li>\u003C/ul>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">TelemetryTV Box OS certified devices\u003C/h2>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">For the time being, not all devices are compatible with TelemetryTV Box OS. This is primarily because we stress test each media player to make sure it can run the TelemetryTV Box OS and TelemetryTV app at the minimum performance requirements. As new devices are tested,\nthose that run at high enough levels of performance will be added.\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">For now, here is the list of media devices that are compatible with the TelemetryTV Box OS:\u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cul class=\"list-disc list-inside\">\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">MeLE Quieter2 Mini PC\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Compulab Fitlet2\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">AOpen DE3450X-24ALW\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Raspberry Pi 4 2GB+ RAM\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Intel Ruggedized NUC (NUCCCHKR only)\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Minix NEO Z83-4U\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">MinisForum N40Onlogic CL210G-10\u003C/li>\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\">Onlogic CL210G-11\u003C/li>\u003C/ul>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\"> \u003C/p>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">If your device isn’t listed, don’t worry.
